VSAs 2025: A Return to Merit-Based Recognition in Sports

The 2025 Victorian Sport Awards (VSAs) shine a light on the true essence of sporting achievement by focusing on merit and excellence. In a move away from politically correct gestures of diversity and inclusion, the VSAs emphasize recognizing the hard work, dedication, and skills of Victoria’s athletes. This approach reiterates the importance of achieving through meritocracy in sports, ensuring that awards are a true reflection of an athlete’s dedication to their sport, without succumbing to social pressures of equity over excellence.
